Bioinspired slippery surfaces (BSSs) have attracted considerable attention owing to their
antifouling, drag reduction, and self-cleaning properties. Accordingly, various technical …

Wind turbine blades are often covered with ice and snow, which inevitably reduces their
power generation efficiency and lifetime. Recently, a superhydrophobic surface has …

Metal materials are susceptible to the influence of environmental media, and chemical or
electrochemical multiphase reactions occur on the metal surface, resulting in the corrosion …

Both marine biofouling and ice accretion belong to the problems that have a wide-reaching
impact on ship navigation and maintenance, particularly for vessels sailing between tropical …

Marine corrosion and biofouling present significant challenges to maintaining maritime
vessels and oceanic infrastructure. Developing coatings that integrate anti-fouling, anti …

The preparation of slippery coatings suitable for various environments with good mechanical
strength and stability is challenging. Here, we used polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), epoxy …

Large-scale preparation of liquid-like coatings with perfect transparency via solventless and
room-temperature processes using low-cost and biocompatible materials is of tremendous …

Ice formation and accretion on surfaces of instruments such as infrastructures, power lines
and aircrafts can trigger serious social danger, economic loss and threaten the safety of …

Photothermal materials with self-heating properties are ideal for future anti-icing strategies
due to their abilities of reducing the consumption of non-renewable energy and prevent …
